Bandits, like the name suggests, are bandits. They steal babies from Yoshi, and if Yoshi is not quick on his feet, it will result in an automatic loss. Although a different species from Shy Guy, they are related to them. Bandits, along with Shy Guys were common enemies in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, and later in the semi-remake Yoshi's Island DS. In Yoshi's Island DS he can be dealt with a bit easier because he will no longer jump off ledges.
